Well I do recall hearing that Flayra paid $10,000 or so to professionally record all the sounds and voices in a proper studio. So I guess it gives an indication of just how much effort and expense has gone into this game.

I have no idea what kind of $$ he paid, but I do know that if nothing else, Ms. Minelli was paid for her contribution. I imagine Flay also had most of the voice sounds recorded in an actual studio.

its definitly proffesional stuff, no matter how much it costs, NS is definitly worth more (not only in money)
respect.
It only took into account studio and hosting costs, plus a few bits and pieces, plus the cost of paying Charles Cleveland a real salary for two years.
Bear in mind that Ken20Banks, for example, is now a level designer for Raven. PlagueBearer has been snapped up to work at Taldren. KFS works at 4D.
If you actually paid the team who made NS salaries commensurate with the job market, you'd be looking at quite a bit more.
Heh. I kid, I kid...
